Studying antique photos is an
excellent way to learn about
Victorian and Edwardian clothing.
*
Take note of the design of the dresses
and gowns, the details of their jewelry
and accessories, the style of their hair
and sometimes best of all...their
fabulous hats!

On the following pages you will see some of my
favorite digital photos displaying unusual and exquisite
authentic Victorian and Edwardian clothing, hats and accessories.
*
The digital photos that I have chosen for my website
have been cropped from the original photo to better display
the fashion of the time period and not the
entire photograph.
~ An interesting note regarding old photographs~
I was told by a very reliable source that when a
person is photographed with a book in their hand
or on their lap it is meant to indicate literacy.
Choose an era or subject below to view.
Enjoy!
